Though I could be wrong! :-?

I've studied the picture ABOVE, just as it says, and I can confidently identify the two boxers as David Haye and Jon Thaxton.

Shall I email you my address?

I don't know who the boxers are, but have found out alot about George Formby.
Formby was his real name , its George Hoy Booth. At the height of his fame he was earning £100,000 a year, massive amount for that time.

I've really got to get a life

Personally, I think you look more like Ian Holloway. Take her to West Cowes for a bowl of mussels, then take her home for a rendition of "When I Go Cleaning Windows".

Fair enough mate.

Personally I haven't got a clue who they are and would only be guessing.

I'm interested to find out on Monday though, and incidently how many people got it right. :TU:
